My artistic task is to notice and reflect: finding
the artful in the ordinary, the depth and complexity in the superficial
and the detail in the unnoticed, a parallel process to my professional
psychological pursuits. My photographic images are intended to
diminish the distinction between the world of the photographic
image and that of other visually artistic productions. Through
the freezing and recording of a moment in time between the documenter
and the subject, my images intend to evoke a narrative about the
subject, which the viewer can identify, engage or perhaps intuit
in a uniquely interesting and individualistic way. The task for
me is to identify elements of expression in subjects not ordinarily
seen as communicative and thereby project and impose the observer’s
understanding and relationship onto this otherwise blank and unexpressive
screen. My images are not premeditated, constructed or creatively
lighted, but are expressive of the spontaneous nature of that
instant opportunity, unlikely to be presented again.
